The last few years of holidaying in the lower leagues has been great for racking up the numbers of forgettable places visited:
Doncaster - near the Keepmoat there are some streets near the ground where have the street has been demolished and people are still living in the other half. Some bloke advertised a pub on here or GMK, I'm led to believe it was a complete and utter hole. He made it sound quite idyllic to be fair to him.
Where are the biggest dumps you've been to to watch City? (Northampton answers do not apply)
Northampton- in the FA-CUP 20+ odd years ago--dreadful place then....
Different ground...nothing wrong with Sixfields now...it just isn't Coventry...
any "home" game at sixfields must be the obvious answer.
nothing to do with the quality of play. just the fact that we are being held there for ransom.
Without a doubt - Oldham is the worst place, it's really grim! The pies however were amazing!
At the other end of the scale was Bournemouth which is such an upmarket area around the ground.
Worst ground to watch a match so far this season: Kingstonian's ground...the view from the away terrace was awful.

I agree with a lot of recent postings.
Luton,terrible in away game 1982. Also lived there briefly in 2007. I visited Kenilworth road then too, not changed a bit. I lived near the ground too, really mixed place in terms of ethnic ancestry.
Oldham, my mum was from there and I have to stick up for it. I do agree it's not exactly Paris. I too was at Oldham FA cup game in 1980. That was scary. Recently went to Oldham FA Cup game v wolves three weeks ago . The pie I had was appalling quality and should never have been sold to the public.
Northampton. Yes awful place, I worked there for 6 years so I do have some knowledge. The game in 1990 away was a terrible day performance wise and it rained too. I did go to a pre season friendly in 95 at Sixfields. Terrible stadium. No idea why anyone would go there.
Maine road was a grim place.
In general inner city areas around grounds are grim, although it adds character really.
I went to the Withdean in Brighton which was in an area more at home to games of lawn tennis or polo. It was crap.

Not one thread can go by without the same old crap.
In answer to the op. Fratton Park is a proper dump. Shit ground and a shit hole area.
Ha, did you get Pimms and foie gras at half time instead of your pie and Bovril?
it was a genuine answer to a genuine question. it's not my fault its true and the situation is what's crap, not the reply.
Selhurst Park - when Wimbledon used to play there. Makes Sixfields look like the Maracana
The question was the grimmest place you've watched City play. You've blown your cover.
Gillingham. Terrible ground, terrible place
Gillingham. Terrible ground, terrible place
Luton, having to go through someones back garden to get into the away end was an experience. Absolute shit hole
I remember going to Gillingham for an evening cup game in the 90's. What a dump! What made it worse was, there were four of us (big lads!) all squashed into a Fiat Cinquecento - about the size of a very small Mini. I was in the back (last to be picked up), with knees up to me chin, and to make matters worse the driver took the wrong turn going back home and we ended up heading south again on the M25. If I remember, we only held them to a draw as well? What a night! Got back home at about 4am!
